What attributions does your HR department have right now? Depending on your company, some HR departments have the task to announce the available positions in the company, manage the salaries, draw up employment contracts and any other documents related to the employees, record the attendance of the employees, and many other things.
The volume of work in the HR department makes the team unable to think about ways to improve their work performance. This is where you can interfere. After analyzing, you can decide if everything can be done faster and better. If the answer is yes, then you can start with these 3 steps:
1. Responsibility distribution
Every employee is or should be a part of the HR department. They all need to be driven by one thing: motivation and that will result in managers that are excited to teach employees. Behind all of this, it needs to be the HR department that will lead all of you to your ultimate goal, which is success.
The more involved the employees are, the easier it gets for the HR department because then everyone will be dedicated to accomplishing the business’s objectives.
Besides, it is a known fact that ‘teamwork makes the dream work’. Employees working together constitutes an advantage because they will all focus on fulfilling the company’s objectives.
2. One solution for all the problems
Are you wasting a lot of time because all the information about your employees is scattered between 2-3 computers and people? Instead of being able to calculate someone’s salary, based on their hours automatically, firstly, you need to manage to get the timesheet from your colleague’s PC and then double-check with the list of events from that month like paid leaves, overtime hours, etc.
All of these things decrease the efficiency of your HR department. Stocking the information on different computers, apps, or tables only adds two or even three more steps in the process of finishing a task. Now they will need to e-mail or call at least two other people.
The solution to this is for you to gather and stock all this information in one place. You can turn to a complete HR software, this will decrease the time the department needs to execute tasks, and they can focus on other things that need their attention.
3. Focus more on your HR strategy
There always are alternatives for easing the job of your HR department. Even though you think your team is capable of handling everything, you could help them out even more. By implementing a dedicated HR software, there will be no more time wasted on searching through an endless number of files in search of one thing.
If the HR department has reduced the time in which they complete tasks, it means they can focus on implementing the strategies which will help your company achieve all of its objectives.
Now that your team has more time on its hands, it means they can put their focus on improving the employee’s efficiency by:
- Designing training programs for the employees so that they can reach their full potential
- Motivating employees
- Developing a competitive payroll strategy
- Creating an employee recognition and reward strategy
- Finding a precise and efficient method to measure performance
- Developing a training and growth plan for all the employees
In this decade your best friend is technology!
If everywhere you look people are using their smartphones, why shouldn’t your HR department be able to do their work in the smartest and easiest way possible? The HR software may be a costly investment, but I believe it is by far the best way to increase the efficiency of your department.
This software will be a long-term investment, so you should do your research before you decide on anything. You need to take into consideration that you want a software that is an addition to your company. For this reason, you need one with on-going work behind it, always updated for your needs. Consider this a contribution for your company that will help you with further goals.
I advise you to research this subject and maybe ask around and see what other companies are using. In the end, you can decide if this is the step you need to do next.
Don’t forget that your HR department is behind every employee in your company and therefore an indispensable part of it!
